Hatco Hydro-Heater Food Rethermalizer / Bain-Marie Heater

Built for demanding, high-volume kitchens, the Hatco Hydro-Heater delivers a continuous supply of temperature-controlled water that rapidly rethermalizes chilled foods or maintains prepared foods at safe-serving temperatures. “Free-flow” technology, precision digital controls and a rugged stainless-steel design make this standalone heater an ideal backbone for custom rethermalizing vessels, bain-maries and steam tables up to 6 ft (1.8 m) long.
